Congress Accuses Election Commission of Misleading Over ECINet Portal, Calls 'Save Democracy' March

Congress has formally charged the Election Commission of India with providing false information about the ECINet portal, claiming the step violates the Representation of the People Act. Senior Congress leader Jayaram Ramesh said the portal deprives Returning Officers of their statutory authority, effectively stripping them of key powers. The party responded by announcing a nationwide "Save Democracy" march to protest the alleged misuse of the portal and to demand corrective action from the commission.
